No the new ones are much better and easier to usenot to mention safer,
BUT you will pay for them. I think I paid $200 in 1985 for mine (BTW,
it's a 1971, not 69), and it cost about $235 brand new in 1971 which is about
$1300 in today's dollars.

If you used brad point or tiny Forstner bits to drill out the corners first to
get the proper radius it probably wouldn't be difficult to rough out the rest
of the hole if you were careful.

I am not enamored of the classic center. They are elitist and do not support
the owners of the models that made the company money. If you happen to share
a part with a more elitist vehicle, you can pay multiples of the value of your
car to acquire it. Poop! We end up at the PnP to source

I am forever trying to find decent wood work for my TE but it's hard.
For instance the stuff in Oz is usually sunburnt and the varnish
cracks/fades.
The UK is a good source but most 124's didn't come with A/C hence no
hole for the controls. Or the bottom bit has no holes for power windows.
Ah, but don't discount the difference the driver makes! I routinely drove
away from 4WD Jeeps and trucks on the ice at stop signs in OKC in my first
FWD car - the '74 Saab Sonnett. It was very light, but capable in the
slippery stuff. Then again, I never had much trouble with the V8 MGA either.
Cut from top, shiny side. Stay away from edge 'cept for fine filing, etc.
Drill, cut, file inward of shiny, finished surface; cutting outward will
chip shiny surface, possibly more that you want, i. e., bigger than desired
hole.
Yeah, practice on an old one if possible.

Speaking of Cessnas reminds me:
One evening in early winter of 1978, while I was Director of Engineering at
Sondrestrom Air Base, Greenland, I was in my room reading and listening to
classical music when Base Commander called and asked me to go over to the
Officer's Club and talk to a NASA
LOVE that story.

I have cut a hole in a piece that goes between the seats and whilst
looks OK it is not 100%, mainly because the original edges are rounded.
I posted that link to ebay.de where there is the correct one for me,
however the bottom piece is more elusive, that one in the US has all the
holes except

Go with the Michelins. Top rated tires and well worth the cash. I would love
a set, but they do not come in my size.
Conti has gone down hill in quality and tire dealers do not like them. Too
many defects and little manufacturer support, so dealers rate them low in
survey. Could be good
